I WAS DRIVING ALONG WHEN THE BARREL-SHAPED WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH. I WENT TO A NEARBY AUTO PARTS STORE AND THE PRINTOUT FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THE FOLLOWING:

1. SHORTED INPUT SENSOR

2. SHORTED ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT

3. FAILED ECM

COULD YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING THESE PROBLEMS CORRECTED?

There was a specific code number that was stored. We need that number. Hopefully they haven't erased it.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I don't know if this is the code you requested, but the printout had this on it:

Troubleshooting-p0601.

Hope this is what you are asking for.

Yes, that was it
P0601-PCM INTERNAL CONTROLLER FAILURE

That's basically just a failed computer
